Artist Statement:

My artwork can be seen in many of the renowned galleries and museums worldwide-granted you have a computer and internet connection.

My work is a reflection of me, and I consider myself to be funny, witty, smart, opinionated and always unexpected. My work includes both humorous works that incorporate puns and plays with and in the English Language, and in contrast other pieces are images that speak to me in either a matter of fact or an abstract manner.
